Mamuju, W Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - Health Minister Nafsiah Mboi has expressed optimism that West Sulawesi (Sulbar) province will be able to develop the health sector.
"There is no reason to doubt West Sulawesi Governor Anwar Adnan Saleh's commitment to improving the development of health sector in the province until 2016," the health minister said at a regional health working meeting here on Sunday.
Nafsiah opined that to measure the success of the development in health sector, the local government should make a mature planning to gain a good health quality.
But she added that mature planning should also be accompanied with accurate health data and information.
"The planning is important because with its supporting data and information we can measure the result of the health development as a whole," she noted.
According to her, the health related data and information should come among others from the socio-demographic condition, the public health degree, the health reform effort that has been made, health resources and various other things.
"It is not very difficult to improve the health development in West Sulawesi because its population is relatively small or about 1.1 million people in five districts," Nafsiah said.
Therefore she asserted that the health sector in the province should be improved objectively by building affordable public health centers.(O001O001)
